Article V
Justification
We believe the Scriptures teach that the great
Gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as
believe in Him is justification; that justification
includes the pardon of sin, and the promise of
eternal life on principles of righteousness; that it is
bestowed, not in consideration of any works of
righteousness which we have done, but solely
through faith in the Redeemer blood; by virtue of
which faith His perfect righteousness is freely
imputed to us of God; that it brings us into a state
of most blessed peace and favor with God; and
secures every other blessing needful for time and
eternity.
